OK, I _really_ can't stand any of the mail clients for windows these days, so I want to go back to my tried-n-true mutt/fetchmail/procmail trio, which is the best mail setup I've ever had. But, as we all are on this list, I'm stuck in windows for one reason or another (the JVM support in windows is much better than in Linux, but that's another story).
So I can't get inetd to run as a service. I tried inetd --install-as-service, and I tried cgyrunsrv -I inetd and whatnot (stuff I found on the web when searching google). But I can get around that right now by running "inetd.exe -d" (debug mode). Telnet sorta works (can't log in, but i'm sure that's just a /etc/passwd issue), but procmail or sendmail is what i really want to work. Has anyone done this? I couldn't get either to compile for cygwin, but I was able to find a binary build of procmail for cygwin online. It doesn't really work though, fetchmail just freezes up when trying to deliver to localhost:25. It doesn't get a connection refused (the connection does open up), but nothing happens. So... any thoughts? I need good POP support, good filtering support, and a good mailer (aka: I need fetchmail, procmail, and mutt). Has anyone else done this? I've exhausted my searches in google for any more useful information, I'm all out. If I can procmail or something similar to work with fetchmail (or something similar) and mutt (must be mutt), then I'd be very happy. Anyone else try anything like this? -Pat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
